General 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Pick-Up Truck features or reviews for Uganda

On the open highway, the Raptor feels massive. In town, it feels roughly the same size as a garbage truck. And, keep in mind, we’re piloting the less enormous of the two available Raptors, the SuperCab.

The SuperCrew version, with its four full-size, front-hinged doors, stretches an extra 11.9 inches over our truck’s already lengthy 220. But it’s not the length of the thing that poses a problem—it’s the engorged body and its trophy-truck-like box-flared fenders that make it as intimidating as a cross town companion. At 86.3 inches, the Raptor is more than six inches wider than the already plenty bulky F-150.

This is not to say that the Raptor is slow or ponderous. Ford deleted the 6.2-liter V-8 that powered most of the last generation of Raptors and bolted in its place a pumped-up version of its twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, now with direct and port injection and 18 psi of boost. The new lump, which looks tiny ¬buried in the engine bay behind an intake pipe that’s about as fat and attractive as a sewer main, brings newfound muscle. Its 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque easily beat the V-8’s output by 39 horsepower and 76 lb-ft.

When you get to issues of spare parts of unique cars and trucks such as the 2017 Ford Raptor, things become complicated. The spares are only imported on order simply because such cars and trucks are very few in the country. So it would not be economically viable for a business person to import spares which are going to tie down capital. So if you find yourself having such a truck, then there are chances that you are going to have to import the spares on order. Hence they won’t be readily available.
